A $1 million lottery prize was claimed on Monday by a player who’d bought their winning crossword-style ticket at a shop in Boston.
The $1 million prize was from the lottery’s “$2,000,000 50X Cashword” scratch ticket game, which involves players scratching letters on the ticket to complete words.
The winning ticket was sold in South Boston from a shop called J & J Mini Mart.

Overall, there were at least 828 lottery prizes worth $600 or more won or claimed in Massachusetts on Monday, including 16 in Springfield, 32 in Worcester and 80 in Boston.
The Massachusetts State Lottery releases a full list of winning tickets every day. The list only includes winning tickets worth more than $600.
